An article came out today that talks about MonoDevelop, and how generally awesome it is ;)
It is a pretty good read, and it has some nice things to say about what we are trying to do, with the MonoDevelop project, and the Mono project as well.
In related news, 0.5 will be a wonderful release, which is good, as its timed with Mono 1.0. We have gotten into place a lot of bugfixes, including fixing the undo bug that kept many of you up late at night crying, and cursing my name.
Also, we have been doing a fair amount of work transitioning the unmanaged gdl-dock with a C# wrapper to a totally managed widget (well, up until gtk# hits gtk+). So far we have made some pretty good progress, dragging is working, there are some minor issues still though. It will not be used in 0.5 regardless of its stage of completion at release, as it hasn't been tested near enough, and still is missing serialization support.
As far as new features post 0.5, my list so far includes: A better template system (both file, project, and code), I plan on looking at whats going on in #D currently, and in other IDEs as well. A new keybinding system that will allow you to bind actions to keybindings. I am not sure when these items will get started/completed/pushed in, but they are on the list.
I am thinking that maybe it makes sense for me to post my long TODO list somewhere and see what people are interested in. Maybe I will get around to doing that soon.
